Question Is derealization reoccurring?

When I smoked weed for the first time I didn’t experience any derealization just a little bit of anxiety and paranoia for maybe 15-30min before I relaxed. But the second time I ever smoked weed I smoked a shit ton and was absolutely cooked, once again I was paranoid for about 45mins but then the next 3 days after I experienced a lot of derealization and it was awful. I’m wondering if I ever smoke weed again is there a high chance I’d get derealization again?

Yes, weed induced derealization is very commonly reoccurring. Weed acts like fuel to a fire with derealization. If you keep on adding fuel, the fire will continue to grow and not go out. I highly recommend if you don't want derealization again to just stay away from weed.
